Maybe a strange question but i was just wondering if any post op people have any experience eating beef jerky? I am still pre-op but this happens to be one of my all time favorite snacks (plus i know its pretty high in protein). Any problems with it going down or chewing it? is this a good snack option?

I can eat it easily. But I can't really give any insight on nutrition (besides its high in protein).

It's my new favorite now. I became interested recently because a lot of post ops eat it. I'm still pre op so I decided to find out what they were so hyped about and fell in love. What I keep hearing is to make sure you chew, chew, chew, chew, chew, chew....I think more RNY folks have problems with it getting stuck. Never heard anything like that from Sleeves.

I ate Ostrim sticks for awhile 2-4 months after surgery. It was enough to fill me up and has 14g of Protein and only 100cal.

My Nut recommends them to other patients as well after I brought them up to her.

Jack Links are exactly what I fell in love with. Wish you can get them in bulk

I have to agree with this..

Oh but they only have 60 calories

They are tasty like a slim Jim meat sticks and are good for bariatric patients

Turkey Jerky from Trader Joes was a staple item for me.

I ate some once I was allowed full foods again (about week 4). I didn't have any problems with it. And I found the best jerky EVER! Oberto Bacon jerky :-P

While I love beef jerky, especially the teryiaki Jacks link. It it so yummy. I can eat it with no problems (I am 7 months out) but I only have it when I am traveling, which I do a lot of. I take that and roasted edemame for snacks in the hotels or a meal replacement if need be. Both are high in protein.I don't have it at home because the bag will disappear one chunk at a time. No beueno. And the sodium content is rather high and I try to watch that.

Here's a recipe for ground beef jerky. I'm going to try it soon. http://wellnessmama.com/2201/ground-beef-jerky/

It's almost the perfect on-the-go snack. There's a beef jerky outlet store here I recently discovered that has beef, venison, alligator, elk, kangaroo - all kinds! The only downside to jerky is that it tends to be a little high in sodium.

A beef jerky outlet store? please excuse me while i wipe the drool from my mouth! Im glad my fave snack is safe!

If you make your own, you can control what's in it

I'm a fan of ostrim Jerkee (60 cal, 10g protein, 1g sugar)........just bought some, and it goes down easy......not quite as dry as regular jerky.....they also have jerky snacks that are more like a slim jim and even more moist I think........(those have 80 calories and 14g protein, low in carbs)
